EL 2024/25 - Round 8

I agree with all the things you guys already said: Fournier’s game, inability to get stops, Oly’s dominance in crashing the boards, Brown being terrible etc. It was even (unfortunately) confirmed how “afraid” Cedi is at crunch time.

It was a really fun game to watch but as a Pao fan it was frustrating to watch us be completely unable to get a stop at times.

On the gossip side of things, Ataman complained that the fans weren’t as passionate as Partizan’s or CZ’s. I mean when tickets are that expensive, you can’t expect to have the most dedicated/loud people bruh. You can’t have it all.

I don’t have a basketball related explanation about why Lorenzo was so bad. I’m going to blame the stars :P I can’t believe that Oly got so much from that bricklaying bodybuilder that is Walkup.

On the other hand, I’m so excited that Juancho is playing the way he is. He’s such a valuable player.

I am shocked what Ataman said. He is an idiot to be honest to say something like that. Atmosphere was really good, he is just trying to shift the attention from losing the game from himself on fans. This way he will just turn fans against him.

Osman showed why the Turkish NT couldnt finish a single game for itself. This guys talent level is below average and being a role player in the NBA does not help dominating a game. It also explains why we never win crucial games in the NT..

The same could be said for Furkan, the worst Monaco player, even such circus team like Efes would beat them if Obradovic gave him more minutes

No, he just wants the hell to break out there. Typical mind games of Ataman. You live with that.

Oly derseved the win. We lost the game in the 1st half. Many mistakes, Ataman inclusive.Many mistakes by Ataman. We were always playing catch up ball and that tires you out at the end, hence the two errors by Juancho and the end (One missing a layup).

When the cheapest ticket is 80 euros don't expect the prawn sandwich eating guys to get you out of a hole. Prices are ridiculous since you need to sell your ass or child to get in. G13 gas also been moved from the the visitors bench to the opposite side which means the away team can breathe easier and focus on the game instead of focusing on the cuting throats and knifing gestures.

Every loss to Oly hurts but this not as much as they mean nothing since neither a trophy was lost nor a home court advantage.Both team will finish in top 4.

Zalgiris, Bayern and Paris are the most positive surprises in competition so far. They play really well and if they continue to play like that in the future, the battle for the first 10 spots will be fun to watch. I'm sure that right before the start everyone saw Real Madrid, Barcelona, Panathinaikos, Olympiacos, Efes, Fenerbahce, Milano, Monaco and Red Star in first half of the standings, and the rest of the clubs fightng for the 10th place, but that's not what's happening right now.
